THE WAY M MYSTERY.
The Theory That He Committed

The Theory That He Committed
 Suicide.
 It is thought that young Charles Way of Madison, who was run over by the cars in Stony Creek Monday, committed suicide. He was married to a girl named Genevieve Goddard with whom he eloped. She be- longed to a highly connected family. Her parents took her away from him and they have not lived together. The separation seemed to work heavily on both of them and it is believed that Way brooded over his trouble until he finally committed suicide by throwing himself in front of the train. An investigation is being made. By some it is believed he was murdered and then placed on the track. His wife is at Hot Springs, her health being very low.

The bill pissed by the Senate,
granting pensions of $4,000 year to
the widows of Generals Logan and
Blair, met with opposition in the Pen
sien Committee of the House. The
majority OF the committee are reluc-
tant to continue the policy of granting
high pensions to the widows of officers
who did not die from injuries incurred
in the services. The only precedence
for such bills are in the cases of widow
and families of Admiral Farragut, and
Generals Hancock, Thomas, and
Grant: The majority of the commit
tee think it would be inadvisable to
follow these precedents in view of the
fact that there are now about one hun

would then be entitled to pensions who

When the sweeping pension bill
was rushed through the House provid-
ing foisdependent parents, and soldiers
and sailors who received no injuries
during their term Of service, but are
simply too old or too feeble to work,
all reasonable people felt that the mat
ter had been overdone. IF the Senate
passes this bill also, the next step will
be to pension everybody who ever had
anything to do with any of the wars.
One fourth of the national revenue is
already paid out in pensions. In round
numbers, eight hundred millions have
been taken out of the U. S. Treasury
for this purpose since the war. AL
the powers Of Europe, combined, with
their immense armies and frequent
wars, do not pay out as much for pen
sions as does the United states.
